These are some of my favorite colors! I used the same fabrics from my Falling Stars quilt except I changed the background color to Navy. It's actually called Kona Cotton Nightfall. The squares were cut 6" sewn into half square triangles and trimmed to 5.5"
I wanted to quilt something different on the prints and the navy, but I wasn't sure how to get around the quilt on my longarm. So I asked some people on facebook for some suggestions. Going with some of their suggestions, I quilted e's and l's in medium blue thread on the prints and 2 straight lines in navy on the navy. I wanted to quilt more straight lines on the navy, but it didn't make sense time wise and it looked good without it.
I added a wide strip to the back as always because I never seem to have enough backing fabric. But you know I like to do that anyway. A pop of color on the back helps make the quilt special.
I love how the quilting shows on the back. Beautiful! I like to piece my backs as well. Especially if I have leftover fabric from the front. This one is great!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this one too! And your quilting looks so pretty. Your e's and l's are so even.
